Re: Lord Voldemort's Six Horcruxes? Are Dumbledore’s Opinions Wrong? (LVs SHADOW)

No: HPFGUIDX 146907

 
Interesting theory, but I don't like the idea that your appearance 
becomes horcux-like with time...we don't see LV looking like a cup 
or a ring, do we? 
 
IMO, his snake-like traits are there to show his descent towards 
spiritual hell, and the least human animal is, in judeo-christian 
culture, the snake. 
 
At this point, LV knows that Harry is a powerful enemy; he wouldn't 
fight him without the protection of a magical number. 
 
What do you say?
